Our job, before the tiles went on
This is one of our showers before a single tile went down. Tap the numbers to see what goes into keeping water where it belongs.
He was reliable, professional and meticulous with his waterproofing.

Plain-English answers to the questions people ask us about waterproofing. General information only; the product's own instructions and the current standard always come first.
Brushed or rolled on in coats to form one seamless, flexible skin. Corners and joins get reinforcing tape and waterproofing sealant first. This is the most common type in showers and bathrooms.
Comes in: water-based (acrylic and similar) and polyurethane types.
Applied on the opposite side to where the water is coming from, for example the inside face of a wall when the outside can't be reached. Positive-side waterproofing goes on the side the water hits.
Good to know: we do both negative and positive side waterproofing.
Mixed on site and brushed or trowelled onto concrete and masonry. Some are flexible and some are rigid, so the right one depends on where it's going and what it's sitting on.
Good to know: used more on concrete than on sheeted walls.
Membranes, adhesives and grouts from brands including Gripset, Mapei, RLA Polymers, Dribond and Ardex. All our adhesives are polymer-modified products.
There's no single "best" membrane. What matters is a system that suits the surface and the tile, with a compatible primer, membrane and adhesive, applied to the thickness the maker specifies.

Times above are typical ranges for common products, not a promise for any particular job.
A plain-English summary, not legal or building advice. The standard is updated from time to time, so the current edition applies.
Two handy tools we wish every customer had. Work out what to buy at the tile shop, or get a rough idea of what's behind that damp patch.
Add each surface you're tiling, pick your tile and how it's laid. You'll see what to order, with a wastage allowance, and a to-scale diagram of the cuts.
A guide for buying, not a quote. It assumes simple rectangles and rounds up. Wastage figures are typical allowances, not rules: niches, steps, odd-shaped rooms and big tiles can need more. Buy from one batch (check the shade number) and keep a few spares for repairs.
Four quick questions. We'll rank the most likely causes, from a simple reseal to a membrane problem, and tell you what to check tonight. It's a guide, not an inspection.
Tick everything that applies.
This is the biggest clue.
A best guess is fine.
And did the problem come back?
A general guide only, not an inspection or a diagnosis. A leaking pipe, tap or waste can look just like a failed membrane, so the cause always needs checking in person. Photos of the damp patch and the shower help a lot when you text.
Where every job startsShowers, bathrooms, laundries and balconies membraned properly before the tiles go on, with the drains and falls worked out first. It's the part nobody sees, and the part we care about most.

The name isn't an accident. We'd rather take the extra time to get the waterproofing, the falls and the last grout line right than rush a job out the door. Our clients tell us they notice it.
“Tony and Levi have worked their magic - from start to finish they were reliable, clean and respectful to both ourselves and our home. The tiling is fantastic, we couldn’t have asked for a more professional company to carry out our renovations”
“Extremely knowledgeable and master of the trade. An incredible finish. Had a solution for any challenge. The drains are perfectly placed, & the fall is spot on. Great care taken to ensure waterproofing is of the highest standard.”
“Tony and Levi did a quality tiling job on my apartment renovation. Bathrooms, kitchen, laundry and balcony all beautifully laid and a pleasure to look at every day.”
“Tony completed two bathrooms at once which was no small feat! He was reliable, professional and meticulous with his waterproofing. …”
“Tony and Levi have extensive experience and are very reliable. They work carefully and professionally, so I felt confident leaving the job in their hands. I highly recommend them — they are a wonderful father and son team.”

Call 0411 720 263Yes. Tony does the waterproofing himself, so the same person is responsible from the membrane to the last grout line. That's how we like it: the falls, the drains and the waterproofing all get worked out before the first tile goes down.
Yes. We're happy to talk through tile options, sizes and layouts, and tell you honestly what will work in your space. If you've already picked your tiles, send us the size and a photo.
It depends on the size of the room, the tiles and what we find under the old ones. Waterproofing also needs time to cure before tiling, so expect a gap of a day or more there. We'll talk you through the timing when we quote.
Yes. Big tiles look great but show every mistake, so we take the time to get them flat and lined up, on floors and walls. Several of our reviews mention large tiles.
Yes, we've done two bathrooms at once, and whole apartment renovations with the bathrooms, kitchen, laundry and balcony all tiled. We'll always leave one bathroom operational while we work on the other.
We highly recommend getting a licensed plumber to do a flood test and a pressure test first. The “Is my shower leaking?” checker above can help you work out what you're seeing. Once the plumbing has been checked, text us photos of the shower and the damp patch.
